onepinkfuzzy: Oh my goodness

The Christmas spirit has hit!

(Or more like, my hormones have subsided...)

I've decided to stay in town Christmas eve, maybe I'll go look at the lights or rent a movie (or two). And Christmas morning, I will head over to Johnny's before Ash wakes up, with his stocking, cinnamon rolls and hot cocoa in tow as a surprise. One of my favorite childhood memories is waking up to overstuffed stockings and having cinnamon rolls and cocoa. I'd like to share a similar ritual with Ash, and Johnny thinks it's a great idea. Yay!!! Just because I don't have Ash Christmas eve, doesn't mean I can't spend Christmas morning with him. I feel much better, and I know Christmas eve will be filled with excitement on my part, wrapping gifts and getting ready to surprise him. After we do stockings that morning, Ash and I will head up to my family's house in Mesa to do more gifts and a big family dinner. All my gifts have been made (I'll post pictures after everyone receives theirs). I'm happy and excited and relieved and glad to have made a choice that brings a smile to my face, Johnny's face and will do the same for Ash!

Tonight: Ash's birthday party. My baby turned 4 years old on Tuesday. What a big boy! All the family is gathering with some friends at Johnny's house tonight, where we'll have pizza and cake and tons of kids. Should be a blast!

Tomorrow morning: trail run with Kiera and her sister (who is in town). Looking forward to it!

Preparing Ash's gifts etc while watching a good rental sounds like the prefect way to spend Christmas Eve!

Glad you are feeling better!

I was thinking of you this morning and thought how hard it must be, on your own at Christmas. I'm so relieved to read that your plans are so much better than that.

Have a happy Christmas!
